The oil pump mounting screws are 40 ft-lbs

Be ready to catch it, it may pop free quickly once the cotter pin is removed. I'll give you the same advise Unilevers gave me, have a 1/2" extension to use as a handle to push it all back together. It will be noticeably harder to reinstall!

Thanks Rawze, just saw I forgot to put that in my description post...
The oil pan bolts are the same torque spec of 40 ft-lbs, and the pattern is below. Remember the correct way to do this is hand tight first, then torque in the pattern listed, the loosen number one and retorque it to remove the possibility of squishing a wrinkle around the pan and tightening it in. Loosening and retorquing will allow the wrinkle to dissipate.

Also, don't forget, it is a good idea to have a deburring tool to chamfer the opening for the dogbone, as that edge is quite abrupt and may damage the o-ring.
